Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1070558A2] A method of manufacturing an ultrafine titanium fiber or titanium alloy fiber comprises the steps of: forming a composite strand (6) by binding a multitude of covered wires (4), in which a covering layer (2) is formed around the periphery of a metal wire (1), and covering the wires with an exterior material (5); forming a composite wire (7) by repetitively conducting cold wire-drawing processing and annealing heat treatment to said composite strand (6); and conducting a wire-separating process to form a metal fiber bundle (8) by removing a portion corresponding to the covering layer (2) and the exterior material (5) in said composite wire (7). The method is characterized in that (A) the metal wire (1) is a titanium wire material or a titanium-alloy wire material; (B) the covering layer (2) and the exterior material (5) are mild steel containing 0.25 wt% or less or carbon; and (C) the maximum temperature the composite strand reaches during the annealing heat treatment conducted for the composite strand (6) is between 700 DEG C and 800 DEG C. <IMAGE>
